Google has its own social network, similar to Facebook, it’s called Google+ (pronounced Google Plus). A few weeks ago Google announced a new feature to create animated photos from a series of similar photos you upload to your account.

What you need to do is log in to your account at plus.google.com, and upload at least five photos taken in quick sequence. You can take these photos with any camera or smartphone, it doesn’t have to only bean Android device.

Once you’ve uploaded photos, give Google+ some time to work its magic — go get a glass of water or return the email you’ve been meaning to answer. When you come back, view your photos section and you’ll see an animated photo created magically for you.

These photos, commonly called GIFs, are easier to share than full-on videos. So get creative, and have fun with it. The best part? It finally gives users a reason to actually sign into Google+.
